MONROE, Wash. — Pasado’s Safe Haven, an animal sanctuary in Monroe, is now need of being saved.
The wells at Pasado’s Safe Haven are underperforming and set off alarms, multiple times a day, alerting that water levels are low.
The water shortage hasn’t yet affected animals on-site. But, it has impacted the workers.
Officials said that, in order to fix the problem with the well, the sanctuary will need to be connected to a city water system.
In order to cut back on water, workers are now using port-a-potties, stopped filling the duck pond in favor of a kiddie pool, are using disposable trays for kitty litter and more.
Doing so is expected to cost about $500,000.
In the meantime, Pasado’s says water has been trucked to help with the shortage.
Trucking water in, buying disposable items and other tasks are costing the sanctuary about $2,500 per month.
To help fund the city water hookup, Pasado’s is asking for donations from the public.
